← Human Body & HealthWhy does close reading become difficult for individuals with presbyopia as the ciliary muscles weaken?
A)Cornea elasticity increases with age
B)Vitreous humor pressure stabilizes vision
C)Lens accommodation range significantly decreases✓
D)Retinal sensitivity to light intensifies
💡 Explanation
Presbyopia results in difficulty focusing on near objects because the weakened ciliary muscles cannot sufficiently change the lens curvature to focus light onto the retina. Therefore, the lens accommodation range decreases significantly, rather than the other options influencing near vision to the same extent.
